Holley

Holley - Performance Legend

There is probably no greater name in hot rodding and performance automobiles than Holley. For over 100 years they have been building carburetors and other fuel system components. They were an original equipment supplier on many cars from the Model A to the wildest muscle cars of their day. In the hot rodding 50's, Holley developed their first 4 barrel carburetor for the 1957 T-Bird. This carb served as the basis for future Holley 4 barrel carburetors.

Holley developed many of their legendary parts in the 1960's. Detroit was turning out muscle cars, and Holley's were feeding a big portion of them with 4 barrel carbs, six packs and tri-power setups. Serious muscle cars like the Boss Mustangs, Cobra, Big Block Chevrolets, Z28 Camaros and the monster Mopars had Holley carbs under the hood. Holley built the three deuce multi carb (Tri Power) set-ups on 427 Corvettes. Double Pumper Holleys were born in the 60's and became a legendary carburetor, the basis of the present double pumper lineup. Another legendary carb came out for NASCAR, the Holley Dominator. All of these carburetors have achieved rock star status in the high performance arena.

Holley carburetors were used almost exclusively on winning factory backed NHRA Super Stock and Pro Stock cars throughout the 70's and 80's. Entire fuel systems were developed in this period to improve total fuel system performance. New fuel pumps and aluminum intakes were also developed during this period. Also in the 80's Holley began developing and manufacturing fuel injection products as that market was launched.

During the decade of the 90's, Holley again shined with even more high performance products. A new line of HP Pro Series Race Ready Carbs was launched. Racers from coast to coast bolted these up and won races! Systemax engine kits were also developed. Systemax kits are offered in different levels and may include a combination of intake, fuel injection equipment, heads or timing chain. Most include the necessary hardware for installation. New billet electric fuel pumps from Holley were introduced to the hot rod world. Holley acquired a number of other companies to add to an already impressive company and performance parts lineup.
